Testimony from Youth Enhancement Service (YES), a CrossRoads Strategy in Jamaica:
The program has improved my habits and attitude tremendously… I used to be very angry. I was angry with God because of the death of my father. My father was a very loving person. He was the peacemaker in my community… Even if a person had hurt him before – he would forgive that person. My life was destroyed the day my father took sick… I thought God would have healed him because I prayed and believed he would be healed. But instead, God took away the only man who had, to that point…honestly loved me. In May, 2003…I was introduced to Youth at the CrossRoads…CrossRoads has helped me to keep my body as a temple of God and to stay away from sex until marriage. I was able to ask God for forgiveness and to take away all the anger I had inside of me. My habits of trying to replace the lost love of my father with other men have gone. I was taught that there is no love greater than God’s…meeting and hearing other young people’s views and questions about things made me understand that I am not alone and there are others who I can share my experience with. Being in the program has cured my problems.
